Chapter 7: Chapter 7

I was alone when I reached home, my mother was not there she must have been gone to work and I have no idea what just happened in my life! Out of sudden when everything was in chaos he came like a storm to explode eveything again with his power, i still remember the heated gaze on me, i still remember hundreads of cameras taking poctures, i still remember the crowd glancing at me as i am a servant, i remember eveything, each clue of geting drained of my life.

My life is getting drowned and drowned and in the next moment, I was nowhere.

I don't trust that person, that Billionaire, Blake Jensen, my heart is telling me something is wrong about him, the way he was looking at me or the way he was creating everything as he owns everything. His eyes were something different as he will hypnotise the whole world if he didn't get what he wants to acheive, with so much proud in his eyes, it was very evident that he is not a person to have connection with.

Especially, when I have been engulfed in a mess because of him!

My mind went again to his words when he offered me to work for him!

Why did he offer me a position when he knows I am just a waitress in a small cafeteria?

My mind went into several jumps to process the thought what the hell is he thinking?

All the mess started because of him! And now he wants to command my life?

I am never going to work for him!

I was on the verge of breaking someone's head when I saw my mother has arrived from her work.

"How are you, Ashley?" She raised her old eyebrows, that was showing her age, she has been aged and grown old.

The lines on her forehead were telling me everything that she is not ready to say in her words.

"I am great. mom,"  I uttered while closing my eyes. My life is becoming more miserable second by second and I had no idea what to do anymore.

"You know? The landlord came again to ask for rent, "

Her words hit me as a parody which I was afraid of getting in.

I had no money with myself! I had to pay for the dress too and it's been only a week since I joined Cafeteria. However, I am not sure if they are going to accept me working there or not.

"I will do something mother," I  whispered when it was hard to whisper.

With all the paparazzi running my pictures on social media! No one will listen to me!

The night was getting heavier inch by inch and then with the slow swift of motion it started raining, all the dark clouds came when I was inside, lurking through the window to the street outside that was rusty and old.

"Ashley, there is nothing left to be cooked too. You need to run to the grocery store," his plumped eyes were speaking to me more furiously than her mouth.

She gave me a couple of dollars before reciting what was needed to take in the store.

I didn't want to go outside, as my heart was getting in remorse telling me something bad is about to happen, and girls and their instincts always behave differently.

However, after seeing her pale eyes, I slipped in my shoes and pick up my umbrella,

"I will be back in an hour," I shouted while stepping my foot outside the house.

The road was filled with heavy traffic, the city of New York was immersed into the city of rain.

Everyone was so engrossed in their work, that they will even cease the thought of any human existence.

My mind started wandering into different thoughts, I think I should keep my head low. As always that would be perfect for me.

After suffocating the whole traffic and buzzing streets I reached the grocery store.

Until I collided with someone and fell my ass off on the floor.

"Look, this was the girl with that Billionaire Blake, yesterday,"

I heard someone, my eyes went wide to the revelation and then in the next moment.

I heard flashes of cameras taking my pictures when I was on the street.

My arms were clumped and there were bruises too.

Sadly, no one dared to notice the hurt I was feeling everyone was too engaged in taking a poor girl's picture!

"So is she his mistress?"

"Is she his one night stand?"

"Who is she?"

I tried to shut my eyes and almost whispered to get the fuck off! From here but as I was unable to get up from the street the paparazzi went crazier this time.

And then when I was on the verge of almost collapsing I saw a man in a white uniform was extending his hand to me, to catch his hand!

Before I could do anything! My anxiety hits me and it went all black.

***

The aroma of hot coffee hits my nostrils then I realize I was not in the street anymore I was in the car again.

That car was running with speed, fighting with everyone as wanted to declare itself the power existence on the earth.

But I was too ashamed to open the reality, it all this would be a dream! If this is a nightmare.

My life has begun into a neverending journey where there all I could see is circles- circles that are affecting me too much!

"Ashley Brooke, are you done with daydreaming?"

I heard the same heavy voice, which became my nightmare from past days.

What's wrong with this man?

What the hell is wrong with this man?

When I didn't say just looked at him, giving an eye look he started smirking again.

At one moment his face was hard as stone and in the next moment, I was terrified up to the hell!

He is the man with pride and the colour of storms who has the power to capture the whole world.

And I am the girl who has nothing but a fragile heart!

"Consider yourself lucky, that Shawn saw you when you were dead on the street!"

His dark deep eyes were too empowering and captivating as they were in battle with the storms.

And hey! Wait for a second! Did he just say I should consider myself lucky because of him?

When he was the first person who started this mess!

"Oh, how lucky I am!"

Sarcasm was dripping from my tone and if I have allowed one murder in my lifetime... I could have killed him!

In my life, I never wanted to involve in this mess! Or getting anything to any billionaire.

However, life has its own rules and I am stuck where I didn't want to be in the first place.

Shawn, the guy who was driving his car cleared his throat just to get my attention.

When his heated glare was burning the holes in my head.

"Ms Ashley calm down, I know this must be a very hard time for you, but we do not have any choice either! To save the pride of the Country's most powerful Billionaire you have to join his company and tell everyone in the public if any paparazzi ever ask you so- you would say you work in his company and that was just an accidental encounter! And nothing else not even a word against his pride otherwise you do not want to know the consequences!"

He finally put down the paper from which he was reading one, and with every syllable, he whispered, my heart started clumping too fast as it was about to explode, maybe it was about to explode too!

What's with him and his pride?

Now I was more determined to tell all the press that he is a jerk! A bastard in the name of a billionaire who tries to control everything! Even someone's fragile heart!

I was too determined to say them- to hell with their absurd dignity, to hell with everything! They cannot control me!

If he is a jerk! He is a jerk!

He should start accepting this!

Until I saw my cell phone in his hand and it was ringing showing the name of my mother!
